1. Make handling of user tokens atomic:
Loads started with the external-facing API used to perform a two-step setup of the user token. Between both, the mutex was unlocked without its reference count having been increased. A non-user-initiated load could therefore destroy the load task when it unreferenced the token.
Those stages now happen atomically so in the one hand, the described race condition can't happen so the load task life insurance doesn't have a gap anymore and, on the other hand, the ugliness that the call to load could return `ERR_BUSY` if happening while other thread was between both steps is gone.
The code has been refactored so the user token concerns are still outside the inner load start function, which is agnostic to that for a cleaner implementation.
2. Clear ambiguity between load operations running on `WorkerThreadPool`:
The two cases are: single-loaded thread directly started by a user pool task and a load started by the system as part of a multi-threaded load.
Since ensuring all the code dealing with this distinction would make it very complex, and error-prone, a different measure is applied instead: just take one of the cases out of the dicotomy. We now ensure every load happening on a pool thread has been initiated by the system.
The way of achieving that is that a single-threaded user-started load initiated from a pool thread, is run as another task.
Benefits:
- Simpler code. The main load function is renamed so it's apparent that it's not just a thread entry point anymore.
- Cache and thread modes of the original task are honored. A beautiful consequence of this is that, unlike formerly, re-issued loads can use the resource cache, which makes this mechanism much more performant.
- The newly added getter for caller task id in WorkerThreadPool allows to remove the custom tracking of that in ResourceLoader.
- The check to replace a cached resource and the replacement itself happen atomically. That fixes deadlock prevention leading to multiple resource instances of the same one on disk. As a side effect, it also makes the regular check for replace load mode more robust.
ResourceLoader:
- Fix invalid tokens being returned.
- Remove no longer written `ThreadLoadTask::dependent_path` and the code reading from it.
- Clear deadlock hazard by keeping the mutex unlocked during userland polling.
WorkerThreadPool:
- Include thread call queue override in the thread state reset set, which allows to simplify the code that handled that (imperfectly) in the ResourceLoader.
- Handle the mutex type correctly on entering an allowance zone.
CommandQueueMT:
- Handle the additional possibility of command buffer reallocation that mutex unlock allowance introduces.
- Unify documentation, hoping to clear misconcepctions about about propagation of the cache mode across dependant loads.
- Clarify in docs that `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` now also works on the main resource (from #87008).
- Add two recursive modes, counterparts of `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` and `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE`, since it seems some need them (see #59669, #82830).
- Let resources, even loaded with one of the ignore-cache modes, get a path, which is useful for tools.
This change simply extracts 'SafeBinaryMutex' from 'mutex.h' to
'safe_binary_mutex.h', in an effort to reduce the compilation
speed impact of including `mutex.h`.
This allows to include script_instance.h directly in the
generated gdvirtual.gen.inc, and remove excessive includes
from the codebase.
This should also allow Resource to use GDVIRTUAL macros,
which wasn't possible previously due to a circular dependency.
* Works for binary and text files.
* Makes EditorQuickOpen work with custom resources again.
* Information is cached and easily accessible.
Properly fixes#66179. Supersedes #66215 and supersedes #62417
**WARNING**: This required breaking backwards binary compatibility (.res and .scn files). Files saved after this PR is merged will no longer open in any earlier versions of Godot.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
This PR is a continuation of #50381 (which was implemented exactly a year ago!)
* Add a visual interface to select which classes should not be built into Godot (well, they are built if something else uses them, but if not used the optimizer will remove them out).
* Add a detection system to scan the project and figure out the actual classes used.
* Added the ability for SCons to load build profiles.
Obligatory Screen:
A simple test with a couple of nodes in the scene resulted in a 25% reduction for the final binary size
TODO:
* Script languages need to implement used class detection (left for another PR).
* Options to disable servers or server functionalities (like 2D or 3D physics, navigation, etc). Are missing, that should also greatly aid in reducing binary size.
* Options to disable some modules would be desired.
* More options to disable drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc) would be desired.
In general this PR is a starting point for more contributors to improve and enhance this functionality.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Implemented by request of @neikeq to advance in the GDExtension version of Mono.
* If a Resource type is missing upon load, it will be remembered together with its data (Unless manually overriden).
* If a Node type is missing upon load, it will be also be remembered together with its data (unless deleted).
This feature makes working with GDExtension much easier, as it ensures that missing types no longer cause data loss.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Found via `codespell -q 3 -S ./thirdparty,*.po,./DONORS.md -L ackward,ang,ans,ba,beng,cas,childs,childrens,dof,doubleclick,fave,findn,hist,inout,leapyear,lod,nd,numer,ois,ony,paket,seeked,sinc,switchs,te,uint`
* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
-Added a new method in Resource: reset_state , used for reloading the same resource from disk
-Added a new cache mode "replace" in ResourceLoader, which reuses existing loaded sub-resources but resets their data from disk (or replaces them if they chaged type)
-Because the correct sub-resource paths are always loaded now, this fixes bugs with subresource folding or subresource ordering when saving.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
